Some projects don't require or simply cannot accommodate a typical size dumpster rental, which is why smaller \"mini\" dumpsters are the perfect solution.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe most common roll-off dumpster size is 10 yards, but the smallest dumpster sizes range from 2 yards to 9 yards and come in a variety of different designs.
\r\n

\r\nThe most common size roll-off dumpster is a 10 yard dumpster and is often times the smallest dumpster that waste companies carry.
\r\n\r\nThat said, more and more disposal companies are offering even smaller roll-off dumpsters to accommodate homeowners and business owners in large cities with small lots and tight spacing requirements.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDumpsters that are smaller than 10 yards are often referred to as mini dumpsters and come in 2 yard to 9 yard sizes.
\r\n
Similar to regular size roll-off dumpsters, mini roll-off dumpsters feature an open top for easy loading.
\r\n\r\nMini dumpsters are heavy and are transported, unloaded, and loaded by specialty delivery trucks, just like other roll-off dumpsters.
\r\n\r\nMini dumpsters are a great choice for handling a wide range of cleanups:

\r\nRubber-wheeled trailer dumpsters offer unique advantages to roll-off dumpsters.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBeing on tires rather than steel feet, trailer dumpsters offer great protection against damage to driveways, sidewalks, or yards.
\r\n
They can also be maneuvered into difficult areas and are more easily adjusted to various loading locations if that is necessary.
\r\n\r\nTrailer dumpster sizes vary but often fall in the 6 to 12 yard range, but some waste hauling companies carry even larger sizes.
\r\n\r\nSome have short sides while others have tall sides, so be sure to inquire about that if it's an important detail for your waste disposal project.

\r\n\r\n![\"Two](\"/sites/default/files/inline-images/1commercial.png\")
\r\nTraditionally, commercial dumpsters are rented by businesses that have an ongoing contract for weekly or biweekly trash pickup services.
\r\n\r\nIn these cases, the dumpster has a permanent place outside of the business.
\r\n\r\nCommercial dumpsters come in a wide variety of sizes, starting at 2 yards and upwards of 10 to 40 yards for large establishments that product large amounts of trash daily.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs large cities throughout the U.S. see a surge in new home and office builds with tighter spacing, more and more dumpster companies are now offering their commercial dumpsters for temporary rent to property owners.
\r\n
Choosing a small dumpster that is 8 yards or less is a great solution if you're in need of a dumpster rental that can fit in a tight space.

\r\nBag dumpsters are essentially large, heavy-duty garbage bags with 2 to 5 yard capacities.
\r\n\r\nThe most popular option is a Bagster, which is a Waste Management product available for purchase online or at local home improvement stores.
\r\n\r\nBagsters are compact, soft dumpsters are constructed of a tarp-like material that is strong enough to hold around 3,000 lbs of waste or debris with a 3 yard loading capacity.
\r\n\r\nDue to their small size, they are not ideal for bulky items, such as furniture, bathtubs, kitchen cabinets, etc.
\r\n\r\nIt may seem like a “dumpster” you can purchase from Amazon or Home Depot is a convenient option, but it’s usually not when you consider all the details.
\r\n\r\nThe initial price of a Bagster bag ranges from $25-$75, but then you have to pay for pickup and disposal.
\r\n\r\nOnce the bag is loaded up and full, you must then contact Waste Management to have them pick it up.
\r\n\r\nThe price of this pickup will vary based on your location but can range anywhere from $100-$350.
\r\n\r\nWhen compared to a 10 yard roll-off dumpster with 3x the amount of space, Bagsters don't usually provide the disposal value that local dumpster rentals can.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhether you're interested in renting a roll-off, trailer, commercial, or bag dumpster, renting from locally-owned and operated companies most often provide the best pricing and customer service when compared to national waste management companies.

\r\nBefore requesting quotes from dumpster rental companies, you may have some questions about your potential project you'd like answered first.
\r\n\r\nHow much debris can fit into each dumpster size? Which dumpster size should I rent for my project? Is there any debris I shouldn't put in a dumpster? How much does dumpster rental cost? How many quotes should I get before renting? How do I make sure I don't get ripped off?
\r\n\r\nHometown has the answers to all these and more.
\r\n\r\nAll dumpster rental companies should have the appropriate licensing and insurance policies in place to safely do the job and protect their workers and your property in the event of an accident.

\r\n\r\nFor many, this means finally decluttering their living space, getting rid of unwanted items taking up valuable space, and regaining organizational control of their home.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDecluttering doesn't have to be a difficult, overwhelming, or intimidating task to keep putting off; that will only allow more items to pile up and continue the negative cycle.
\r\n
Hometown has compiled our biggest tips for tackling the New Year head on and getting decluttered and organize.
\r\n\r\nJumping into a deep decluttering project without a plan can do more harm than good.
\r\n\r\nWhen we find ourselves overwhelmed, it's easy to give up and walk away, leaving the clutter to be dealt with another day.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPacing yourself and mapping out a plan of attack will give yourself the best chance to succeed.
\r\n
Rather than trying to get everything done within a day or a single weekend, consider how much free time you actually have to offer this project.
\r\n\r\nWork on only one room at a time so that all other areas of the home are still functional because—spoiler alert—things are probably going to look worse before they start to look better.
\r\n\r\nDecluttering involves going through every belonging in a room and determining what will stay, what will be donated or tossed in the trash, and then finding the most efficient way to organize the items you plan on keeping.
\r\n\r\nThis process can be time consuming and will temporarily make the area look messier than before you started, but you have to trust the process.
\r\n\r\nDecide which rooms will take the most amount of time and start there. Spend a few hours a day tackling that room until things are organized and the room is complete.
\r\n\r\nIt's okay to take a break between rooms to reward yourself for your hard work, but don't make the mistake of walking away for too long and losing your momentum.
\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest mistakes people make when decluttering is to be indecisive about what to do with items and decide to box them up and stuff them in a closet somewhere.
\r\n\r\nYou should restrict your storage space to only being used for items that you actually need and use often, and boxed items should be reserved for seasonal or sentimental items.
\r\n\r\nWhen you are going through your belongings and deciding what to do with them, limit yourself to placing these items into one of four piles:
\r\n\r\nItems you plan on donating should be in clean, working condition and can be placed in boxes or bags for easy transport.
\r\n\r\nYou can drop these items off at local donation centers, like Goodwill, or you can place an ad on Facebook Marketplace as free items for porch pickup.
\r\n\r\nItems that can be thrown away should be bagged and tossed into your trash.
\r\n\r\nIf you have a bulk amount of trash to get rid of, or large, bulky items that won't fit into your trash, consider renting a temporary dumpster.
\r\n\r\nAnother option that simplifies donating or throwing away unwanted items is to hire a junk removal company. They'll haul away your unwanted junk and donate the items in good condition and take the trash to a local landfill or recycling center when applicable.
\r\n\r\nFor the items that you plan on selling, make sure they're clean and take a variety of well-lit photos from a couple different angles.
\r\n\r\nList these items on an online marketplace, like Facebook, Craigslist, or Depop, and be sure to include a detailed description to give yourself the best chance of attracting the right buyer.
\r\n\r\nThe items that you plan on keeping should be dusted or wiped down before ultimately being put away in an organized fashion.
\r\n\r\nWe recommend organizing the items you plan on keeping after you get rid of the items you plan on selling/donating/throwing away.
\r\n\r\nIt's much easier to organize in a room with less clutter, so save this part for last.

\r\nA new modern way to hang onto sentimental items in a storage-friendly way is to digitalize documents, photos, videos, and memorabilia when you can.
\r\n\r\nBoxes of paperwork, photos, or handwritten notes from high school can ultimately take up a lot of space.
\r\n\r\nEliminate the need to find a home for these boxes by taking photos or scanning them into a hard drive or Google Drive so that you can get rid of these old documents.
\r\n\r\nDigitalizing sentimental or important documents is also a great way to protect them from theft, fire/water damage, or from being lost.
\r\n\r\nWhen you find yourself overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to get rid of, hiring help will streamline the disposal aspect of your project so that you can focus on organizing and cleaning.
\r\n\r\nHaving to haul boxes, bags, and old furniture is a physically draining and time consuming project in and of itself.
\r\n\r\nJunk removal services are designed to help you unload unwanted items in the fastest, most convenient way possible.
\r\n\r\nThey will either come into your home and haul away your items from wherever they're placed, or you can pile up your items on the porch or in the driveway for completely contactless pickup.
\r\n\r\nEither way, these services are very fast and their convenience cannot be understated.
\r\n\r\nFor those that have large, ongoing projects and want to do a little more physical labor in order to save on costs, renting a dumpster is a great solution.
\r\n\r\nDumpster rental services are affordable, easy to schedule, and provide the perfect solution for larger cleanup projects.
\r\n\r\nThe New Year provides the perfect opportunity to tackle an area of your life that needs improvement and for many, this means finally decluttering their living space and regaining control of their home. Follow these simple steps to decluttering your home to start the new year off right.
